It's plain old Schulze, as in the Condorcet method.
It seems to me that using a proportional ordering (house monotone PR
method) would be a better approach for a party list than to just use a
Condorcet method directly. In the latter case, the list would be full of
centrists, but in the former, there would be some opinion space variation.
I seem to remember that Schulze designed a proportional ordering version
of Schulze STV as well, but it may be too untested even for the Pirate
Party.
http://forum.piratpartiet.se/FindPost176567.aspx implies that the source
code is based on the Wikipedia implementation.
